Garden Plans > 2013: Permanent beds-Main

About this Garden Plan

OUr main garden in the backyard. This one grows the majority of our food along with this years experiments of grains. The things that need less maintenance like grain corn and sweet corn being in larger gardens on the other side of the yard. This layout is all new, using boards as visual barriers for permanent rows rather than raised beds which require too much watering. We will be allowing grass/cwhite clover and possibly some "stepable" herbs to grow between the beds.
